I guess one results in more certainty but if I am desperate to get somewhere (which most people are) I would want my airline to at least be trying rather than throwing in the towel.

I can't explain it all at this point as it has been a couple years since I worked at WestJet but a big issue for them when these types of events happen is that crew availability becomes a major factor. AC has more crews spread across the country whereas WestJet has fewer crews and they often commute/deadhead for their flights. It becomes challenging to find staff for rescue flights and what not.
There are other complicating factors but this is a big one.
